Leelee Sobieski caught my attention for the second time (the first time being in Eyes Wide Shut) when she sat across from me at a benefit about a year and half ago. She had cut her signature long hair very short, and it was gelled up and sculpted back off her face a la Princess Diana. Sounds kinda scary, right? But actually no. She looked incredible. She did actually look very much like Princess Diana, but in a more modern, sophisticated way. I haven't seen her in person since, but I notice from photos that she's let her hair grow out to a bob and she's refined her style in a minimal/classic way that is very American, very Lauren Hutton. And there is not greater compliment I can give than compare someone to Lauren Hutton. I hope she settles into this style and keeps it simple.

ABOUT ME

AMANDA BROOKS

I am the author of I Love Your Style: How to Define and Refine Your Personal Style (Harper Collins, 2009) - a book about how I found my own personal style and the inspiration - the women, the men, the movies, the images, the experiences - that motivates me (and hopefully you too) to keep evolving. This blog is a continuation of my book and also a bit more - it's the visual stimulation I find as I go about my life and a tribute to the things I have and find that inspire me most.
